About the Author
Lori Lee Ericson, (Anne Rasmussen-Salajekeh) grew up in Greenville, Michigan, a small Danish community, in a family of five. As young as age nine her enthusiasm for motivating children to learn began to emerge. She and a friend organized a little neighborhood "preschool" in her garage, which ran for several months. Even then, she created little books and dreamed of becoming an author. She loved babysitting and always adored inspiring little children.
Anne received her bachelor's degree in Applied Arts and Sciences, with a major in Sociology and minor in Psychology from Central Michigan University. She and her professor husband, Robert, raised three children and over time, her natural gifts and true passions blossomed. She became involved in teaching preschool in a variety of settings and wrote over fifty colorful and stimulating books (yet to be published) in the "fun-to-mentals” of learning. These books have highly motivated her young students as well as children in afterschool reading programs.
Presently she is pursuing publishing of these "works of the heart" which she has dedicated almost fifteen years to so far.
